The central narrative device of the first episode is the framing story: the arrest of the corrupt FIFA officials in Zurich in 2015. However, rather than focus on the American prosecutors or the Swiss police, the camera (and thus the audio in your file) centers on Sergio Jadue, the small-town president of the Chilean Football Federation.

The m4a format, reliant on sound, would highlight this dichotomy effectively: the visceral emotion of the game versus the sterile language of the contract. The first episode argues that the fans are the ultimate victims, not because they lose money, but because their emotional investment is the product being sold. The leaders of the sport have ceased to be custodians of a game and have become traders of a commodity. The central narrative device of the first episode
